People. ive heard american diplomats say exactly the same thing. but the intelligence piece of this is so interesting, because there was such clear signs in the run-up to these attacks. you can debate security, and how much is right or wrong, but it does seem there is a clear case of an intelligence failure of what was happening in benghazi in the months before the attack and how the city was changing. >> youre absolutely correct. having looks at countless threat reports and investigated numerou...
